Just read Rich Atkinson's "An Army at Dawn" and I found it quite enjoyable. It is about the US Army in North Africa and is the first in a planned trilogy About a third of the way through Charles McDonald's "A Time for Trumpets" about the Battle of the Bulge. Pretty good read so far.

Berlin and Stalingrad by Antony Beevor.
If only the masters let their Generals run their campains as they saw fit the outcomes may have been different.

Just read "Band of Brothers". Was quite enjoyable. It was amazing how many of the cast really resembled the charactors.
I enjoyed it so much I began reading "D-Day: The Climactic Battle of WWII".... another one by Ambrose. It too was very good.
